Hello dlb,
In order to size an accurate system I would need the power usage of each appliance.
O.C

1-Coleman 8000 series AC @ Approx 14 Amps Approx 1700 watts Run time 15 min per hour.
1-Dometic model #RM60a- Approx 8 amp? run at 110 volt.
1 85 watt laptop charger
1-coffee pot.
I live in full sun in northern az. AC only in weather above 90. have other appliances but very intermittent use. basically i just want to cool the place off when i get too hot. and run the fridge. should i convert the element in the fridge to 12 volt if i go solar. hot water is tankless lp.
and a few lights at night. ac is the big draw. and furnace is 2.2 amps heavy use in the winter but i could go with a catalityc.

Hi dlb,
After entering in all of the items you suggested the system size comes out to about 2.5Kw that is required.
In order to run an Air Conditioner or that #RM60A (Fridge i am assuming?) requires a lot of power.
Running items like the coffee pot and laptop charger and lights are no problem for a system that can fit on an RV.
Let me know what you think.
